Commercial architectural products

The Saturday package

· Houston desk

Saturday is when someone forwards the whole drawing set with the note "please price." The set is 240 pages. The categories in scope are not marked.

Say which sections you want priced. A full drawing dump feels helpful and usually hides the one sheet that has the sizes. Name the sheets, or send the schedule.

Project quotations

A project quotation prices the quantities, finishes, and project location you send. There is no catalog list price. Division 8 USA is a Houston supplier of commercial architectural products for hospitality, multifamily, commercial, student housing, and senior living. The services are specification review, product sourcing, project quotations, procurement coordination, and delivery coordination.

What to send

  • Product type, taken from the schedule
  • Sizes, and whether they are rough openings or frames
  • Quantities and finishes
  • Project location
  • Anything still open, marked open

What this note will not do

Division 8 USA quotes the package you send. It does not publish a list price, install the work, or invent a missing type.

More on commercial architectural products. The five services are on product sourcing. Send the specification for a project quotation.

Should I send the full drawing set?

Send the sheets that name the products, plus the finish schedule and the project location. Mark the categories that are in scope.
